Throughout the years, fans of hip-hop have become all too familiar with the disparaging deficiency of women within the rap genre. And to make matters even worse, the history of female unity in hip-hop, with a few exceptions, has long been documented by discord and infighting among those who risen to the top of the largely male-dominated industry.

As Nicki Minaj continues to, arguably, hold the crown as the top female rapper in the industry, it's worth noting that there really hasn't been anyone to come close to the accomplishments she's achieved over the past decade. With that said, however, it seems that 2017 has officially become the year of Cardi B within the rap world. As the new "it girl" of hip-hop, Cardi's infectious lyrical delivery and undeniable quality of likability quickly turned her into fan favorite. Following a stint on VH1's Love & Hip Hop, the popularity of Cardi's debut single "Bodak Yellow" boosted her into mainstream attention as she became the first solo female rapper to top the Billboard Hot 100 Chart since Ms. Lauryn Hill, a feat that took more than 19 years to conquer.

Another commenter used a meme to express excitement over the lyrical punchlines from the ladies.

The new song from Migos, Cardi B and Nicki Minaj certainly proves that there is room for more than one woman at the top of the rap game. If female rappers continue to unite, support, and empower one another in this way, it's quite possible that women could be ruling the entire hip-hop game in years to come.
